Illustration: Unaccompanied

A new year brings a new illustration! This is a depiction from my fourth novella, The Furthest Leap. Jonill, assistant teacher at the Council’s mage school in 73 AK, finds her life upended after being included in the first group of mages taught by the Defender to leap with power (later called Traveling).

Illustration: An Open Door

Another year winding down, and another autumn illustration finally complete. It’s past time Hu-Hov made an appearance in the gallery!

Illustration: Disconsolate

My spring illustration project is complete! The story “Heritage” describes the tenth birthday celebration for orphaned Hileko Heruvael-son from the perspective of a younger Historian Hened, who is not yet Master Historian. (This story takes place in 392 AK, five years after the events of “Hened Ascendant.”)

Essay Excerpt: Punnett Squares

Below is an excerpt from the first chapter of “On the Training and Use of Power Among the Races.” The section on inheritance definitely contains the most science jargon and the largest number of diagrams.

Illustration: A Wild Hope

I like keeping my illustration projects in sync with the seasons, though I’m so slow I often finish them near the end.

Illustration: Desperate Errand

Finally, a new illustration! This is for the story that falls the earliest on the timeline (so far) at 876 DH: “Embers Fade to Ash.”

Timeline

Hu-Hov: “I’m not leaving out Traveling this time!”

Hened: “I see that, and I see you put yourself in there, too. But when it comes to historical significance, why didn’t you include 404 and—”

Hu-Hov: “Spoilers.”

Hened: “What?”

Hu-Hov: “It’s a new word I learned.”
